HELENA'S POV:

It's been six months since that incident on the party and lots of things have changed. Things between Diana and me has changed a lot. She is now my very good friend and she helped me a lot to understand about the company and also I found a new family in her. She had strictly ordered me to call Diana and it took me a whole month to make it my habit. I call her by her name except in the company.

Diana has now started letting Zayden go around people. She still hesitates a bit and takes time to know the people before letting Zayden go near them but with the flow she's going on, I believe she'll be able to overcome her fear one day.

My little friend Zayden has turned more cute and naughty these days. He's now started calling me heroine and the reason he gave was, "I call my other big friend hero because mommy says he saved me from bad people. So you'll be my heroine because you saved me from mommy's strictness. Don't tell this to mommy okay." He's such a naughty boy. So that was how I got to know that his hero is non other than Diana's brother who saved Zayden. I wonder what kind of person he is.

And thankfully dad has come back to his old jolly, bubbly and fun loving form. His behaviour since few days was freaking me out at that time but now everything's alright. We still call every day in morning and before going to sleep at night. He even sends me videos when he goes to orphanage and sings along with the children there.

My bond has grown stronger with Merry and Gina. We have even planned to buy apartments near each other once our internship ends. All of us are working hard to get job at the head office itself and I hope we'll get what we're dreaming about.

Well even Alvira is dreaming something and that is to throw me out of the company. She's been doing everything possible from her side to throw me out of the company but luck supports the one who works hard and that's what has saved me since so long. Only if she would concentrate upon herself and her work, she would grow into a really successful human.

Today we have to submit legal proposal regarding a deal the company is about to crack. Every intern is assigned to prepare the proposal. As our internship is about to finish within a month or two, so we are assigned with more of serious tasks. I was walking towards the printout office cause the proposals need to be printed in office itself along with company's stamp. As I was about to enter inside office, someone walked pass me pushing me at the corner and it was non other than Alvira.

God, I was expecting a bit of peace in today's day at least but I guess it's too much to ask from Alvira. Well I had no other option than to wait for my turn outside. She gave a cocky smile once she came outside and walked towards Mr. Collins's cabin. I didn't pay much attention to her and entered to the office and took out my printouts.

I walked towards Mr.Collins's cabin to present my proposal but Alvira was already showing her proposal to sir so I was waiting for my turn. "Your proposal is impressive Ms.Alvira. This can be the one." Alvira's smile never left her face and I was happy for her.

"Ms.Helena, your turn now." I handed my proposal to him as he had asked. But I don't know why his face darkened looking at my file. "Ms. Parker and Ms.Jonas, what kind of joke is this?" He stood up in anger and I was shocked with his reaction.

"What's the matter sir? Is there any problem?" I asked as I was unaware about the reason behind his behaviour. "Why is both of your proposals same from the top to bottom?" His words made me shocked. I looked towards Alvira but she was avoiding eye contact with me.

"It's all my proposal sir. I was the one who submitted earlier." She said confidently looking at Mr.Collins. "You were the one who pushed me away at the printout office as I was entering and that's the reason why you were able to submit first Alvira." I retorted back, I'm not letting anyone steal my hard work.

"What rubbish, I'm the one who made this proposal and that's it." She looked away from me after saying that. "Enough of blame games. Now I'll find out about it. Ms.Alvira, what are the conditions you have put on the proposal to lock the deal?" He asked her and she answered it fluently. He asked the same question to me and I answered the same cause that was what I had written on my proposal. He started asking further more questions.

"What is the profit margin you've mentioned in the proposal?" He asked to Alvira after few more questions. She was taken aback from his question but she still managed to answer, "15% sir." He asked me the same question so I answered, "25% sir."

"Ms.Jonas, will you please explain the reason behind this cheap stunt?" He asked calmly keeping the file away and Alvira was speechless. "I'm asking you Ms.Alvira." His voice turned louder this time sending shivers down the spine.

"I couldn't..I couldn't prepare my proposal so I..."

"So you thought of stealing other's hardwork?" He cut her off in between. "I'm sorry.. sorry sir. I won't repeat this mistake again."

"No Ms. Alvira, you know the rule of the company very well so, OUT." His voice was as cold as ice. "Sir please.."

"Your documents will be sent back to you by evening and you're banned to work on any companies in this city. Before I make it more harder for you, LEAVE." She looked at me with hateful gaze and walked out of the cabin.

"Ms.Helena, I'm sorry for the inconvenience and keep up the good job." He said and I left the cabin after bowing in front of him. "You must be really happy to throw me out of the company right?" I heard her voice behind my back. I turned around to see her in tears and her jaw clenched in anger.

"I never tried or planned to throw you out or harm you Alvira. All I did was to pay attention to my own work and I always wished you did that too. You're eligible Alvira, but you spent all your energy behind ruining others. You still have time, work upon yourself. Good luck for your future." I walked out after saying everything I had in my heart.
